Now adays I find myself less motivated to go and do stuff without there being a purpose. I'm almost 19 now (july 5th, woot,) so maybe it's due to being older. From what I've seen, most people who continue to play Classic (or at least have played during the past year or so) are 17+, not 14-17. Looking at real life, 14-17 are junior high/high school years where people randomly doing things for the hell of it is pretty common. But once you get past the age of 17, doing things for the hell of it doesn't fly as much. Personally, I like getting something out of what I do. So when I go to take MoD fort from another guild, I would like to get some kind of reward out of it other than now controlling the fort which I will now have to spend the next hour defending with a plethora of s key bashing.
Maybe that's just me, idk. But from what I've seen, Classic's (former?) playerbase is 17+ and therefor looks for a little more structure/reason than perhaps playerbases back in the day.

True enough, I spose you're right. I'm not much for button smashing these days myself. Keep in mind though that the focus is not only to retain old players but to encourage new players when considering Classic's needs.
